Ms Adequate posted:Yeah my granny was old enough to remember the Belfast Blitz - she was born in '31 or '32 I believe - and she died a few years ago in her mid-80s. It's not the WW1 situation with no remaining veterans yet, but we're getting there rapidly. Proabably it's a Harry Patch situation where the remaining WW2 vets are all that's been holding it back, and as they head on, more and more boomer weapons get their brains melted and start dressing as poppies. It's been really noticeable in the last 20 years or so, and more frenzied every time it appears. And more empty ritual, than any kind of meaningful gesture at this point. A handy-dandy plaster to stifle any criticism of British military actions, and the complete abandonment of soldiers when they're no longer "useful".

communism bitch posted:lol we're gonna have 40,000 dead before the end of summer aint we Probably more so in all honesty. And's that by using the government's already super massaged numbers - various things suggest the actual number could already be above 50k :/ And the narratives are already being spun towards pointing the finger anywhere but at the government, and trying to justify why it's worth the risk of peoples lives to make MONEY NUMBER MUST GO UP and any who think otherwise are feckless traitor scroungers who are talking down Britian and bringing politics into things when the government has done a really good job despite the hardship (the usual loving bollocks the ignorant or compliant spout).

XMNN posted:I've already seen people start to push the inevitable "hindsight is 20/20" narrative/gas lighting, like anyone who was paying even the slightest bit of attention wasn't concerned about this weeks before the government chose to act. Well yeah, they've already been doing that for weeks trying to bury the fact that they've known about this since at least January, (with warnings of lack of PPE from NHS and dry-runs of pandemic protocols known for at least 2 years before that). Hell, even when it started appearing on the news and the general public was gaining awareness of it, anyone who gave a gently caress, and wasn't a skull-measuring brain genius could see that it would spread to here, and that was in late February/early March? Just doing their usual complacent, "We don't give a gently caress; it'll probably only affect the poors, just as long as they don't die in too great numbers to stop the money machine." And that's without the later revelations that have emerged since with the "Herd Immunity" poo poo, and the government having to bow to public pressure over actually shutting poo poo, and their desperate eagerness to reopen businesses, despite the cost in human lives. And that includes the deaths that result for whatever they brand Austerity 2: Electric Boogaloo as. Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 18:53 on May 6, 2020 |

Necrothatcher posted:Saw an interesting tweet from Owen Jones yesterday pointing out that the reason the newspapers are teasing so many end of lockdown stories and trying to manufacture public pressure for it to end is that they're on the verge of death now that sales and advertising revenue have collapsed. *Random voxpops BBC journalist, sweating profusely*: "Excuse me sir, what's your opinion on the closure of the Sun, Times, Express and Daily Mail?" Necrothatcher: "I'm glad they're dead." It's just a shame they'll be kept on digital life support, and continually propped up by the BBC - it just won't be the physical papers, just the online ones. :/

I can only imagine literally hundreds of tonnes of paper get wasted a day on newspapers, even if you count the ones that are bought and read fully as not being a waste. Yeah that's true, and an added benefit of them loving finally dying. And it does close off at least one avenue of national brainrot seeping into peoples' brains everytime they pop down the shop. Although we'll probably been seeing a lot more of them as talking heads regurgitating the same old poo poo, to be endless regurgitated back and forth across other talking heads with the same toxic views and pointless speculations.

Aphex- posted:I didn't watch it because I hate looking at Boris, what were the main points/changes if anything? Even if it's just vague fluff. Plebs in the construction and maunfactory industry are  suggested to go back to work tomorrow.Then a big wish list of "ifs" and vague hopes on reopening schools (June 1st), pubs, restuarants, cinemas and such later. Next Wednesday they'll allow unlimted outdoor exercise, rather than the 1-a-day they've vaguely hinted at thus far. It's basically nothing we didn't suspect, but a nothing vague word jumble that is going to result in a lot more needless deaths.

The ending was "better", in the loosest sense, saying that things will have to change after this, not just clapping for nurses and such, but paying them more than minimum wage and that - although it was said with the conviction of a man arguing with himself if it should be increased by 5p, or 2p and the merits of one over the other.

Communist Thoughts posted:So the lockdown is just sort of ending anyway without us ever doing a proper one? More or less. The government never really wanted to enforce one in the first place - hense the half-arsed vague guidelines and complete reluctance to do anything until forced to - especially with Johnson getting it after his blasé "Oh yeah take it on the chin" poo poo. And now they've had to temporarily enact policies completely against their ideology - because otherwise the economy would poo poo itself - they're eager for things to return to the status quo, so they can stop pretending to give a gently caress. And shift the blame for the inevitable second wave on everyone else, but themselves and their complete disregard for human live over MAKE MONEY NUMBER BIGGER.
